Pro Tip: Make the Most of Your Prompts

The more details you give, the better your results. Save your favorite prompts, so you can revisit and reuse them whenever needed. Don’t forget: you can also ask ChatGPT to create tables, charts, and useful forms to help visualize your budget, track your goals, or map out your income streams. Instead of “help me with my money,” try “build me a 6-month plan to pay off $5,000 in credit card debt while saving $200 a month.”
